Schedule Change and Some Art Links!

Sorry for the delay, but I've decided not to give you extra reading/questions for The Prophet. Instead, we'll just return to class on Monday and discuss the opening chapters as we were going to do on Wednesday. I'll simply sandwich the book into 3 days instead of 4, and lose one of our presentation days. The new schedule will look like this:

M 7                     Gibran, The Prophet

W 9                     Gibran, The Prophet

F 11                    Gibran, The Prophet

 

M 14                   Writing Exam #2

W 16                   Group Presentations

F 18                    Group Presentations

If we need another day for presentations, we'll take the following Monday. So start talking to your group members and planning the roles each member will take in the presentation. I'm always available with questions if you have them. To help you get started, below are some links to art which you might want to use for the Curators in each group. You can use ANY art you think helps complement the verses, from album covers to photographs to manga. It's up to you! But here are a few works of art you might consider:
